When you walk through woods

While at a poetry met up with a friend I came across this poem on the web and wanted to share it.

When you walk through the woods,I want you to see ... The floating gold of a bumble bee,Rivers of sunlight, pools of shade Toads tools sleeping in mossy jadeA cobweb net with a catch of dew Treetop cones against the blueDancing flowers, bright green flies And birds that put rainbows in your eyes.When you walk through the woods, I want you to hear ...A million sounds in your eager earThe scratch and rattle of wind-tossed trees The rush as a timid chipmunk flees The cry of a hawk from the distant sky The purr of leaves when a breeze rolls byBrooks that mumble, stones that ring And birds that teach your heart to sing.When you walk through the woods, I want you to feel ... That no mere human could make this realCould paint the throb of a butterfly's wing Could teach a wood thrush how to singCould create these wonders of earth and sky There's something greater than you or I.When you walk through the woods and the birches nod Please, meet a friend of mine named God.
